Answer:

76.4m/s

Explanation:

Given parameter:

Time taken = 7.8sec

Unknown:

Speed after it dropped = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use one of the kinematics equation:

V = U + gt

V is the final speed

U is the initial speed = 0m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity

t is the time taken

V = 0 + 9.8 x 7.8 = 76.4m/s

Sound waves produced by a source pass a point five times every second. Which of the following choices correctly describes the pe

Ugo [173]

The period is 1/5 second, and the frequency is 5 Hz.

Explanation:

Let's start by reviewing some definitions about waves:

- The period of a wave is the time taken for the wave to make one complete cycle. It is indicated with T and it is measured in seconds (s)

- The frequency of a wave is the number of complete cycles made by the wave in one second. It is indicated with f and it is measured in Hertz (Hz). It is equal to the reciprocal of the period:

$f=\frac{1}{T}$

where f is the frequency and T is the period.

In this problem, we have a wave that passes a given point five time per second. This means that the number of oscillations per second is five, and so its frequency is:

$f=\frac{5 cycles}{1 sec}=5 Hz$
